Richard P. Hastings, Esq. · Ridgefield, Connecticut
Who is choosing for you
He holds the same standard he applies
Richard P. Hastings has practiced personal injury law in Connecticut for more than forty years, most of it as a partner at Hastings, Cohan & Walsh, LLP in Ridgefield. He is AV Preeminent peer rated by Martindale-Hubbell and has been selected to both Connecticut Super Lawyers and New England Super Lawyers. Every lawyer he refers you to has to meet a standard he meets himself.
He has also spent years teaching other lawyers. He co-authored Adjuster Secrets, an e-book sold to attorneys across the country for as much as $799.99, and has taught lawyers nationwide how to get more money for their clients in personal injury cases. He trained in negotiation at Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation, including its course on how to teach negotiation.
His articles have been published in the Connecticut Law Tribune and in Bill of Particulars, the magazine of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association.
Ratings narrow the field. Experience does the rest. After forty years, Attorney Hastings knows which rated lawyers regularly handle cases like yours.
